What is longarm quilting? 🤔✨ It’s the process of using a sewing/quilting machine on a frame to stitch all three layers of a quilt together—the top, batting, and backing. 🧵🎯 It’s where the magic happens and quilts come to life!

Now it’s time to load the quilt onto the longarm—starting with the backing! I prefer to pin my quilts to the leaders. It’s a method that’s worked well for me over the years, so I stick with it. As I load, I like to lightly mist the backing with filtered water. This simple step helps relax any wrinkles and ensures a smoother load onto the leaders. I have sped this video up a bit—yes, I know, you all want real-time—but trust me, about 10 minutes of loading a quilt isn’t the most thrilling footage.
